160: CENSORED: @timcastirl CANCELS @TURTLEBOYlive - House Defendants Threaten TimCast with legal action
01/06/2026 | 2 h
Mel + Rebecca get into all the chaos surrounding the sudden and shocking cancellation of Aidan Kearney (aka Turtleboy) on Tim Pool’s TimCast. Just when Aidan was set to take the Canton corruption and the Karen Read case to a massive national audience, the plug was pulled. The reason? Attorneys representing the "house defendants" sent threatening legal letters to Tim Pool's team—and it actually worked. We are breaking down the timeline of the cancellation, the aggressive legal maneuverings by the McAlberts' camp, and what it really says about the panic setting in among the house occupants. Is this a blatant attempt to chill free speech? Why did a platform as big as TimCast cave to the pressure, especially when his brand is built on defending the 1st amendment? Is he actually helping platform Turtleboy? Did this legal maneuver blow up in the Hos Defendants' faces? And what does this mean for the future of independent journalists covering this trial?

156: Impromptu with Mel Barrett - Davis Square escalator death, Turtleboy fundraiser, the 1st amendment, twitter trolls
There’s the official story. And then there’s the truth.
The In Between is an investigative narrative podcast that digs into cases where the facts got buried, distorted, or deliberately ignored. Hosted by journalist and screenwriter Mel Barrett, each season unpacks one story that was never fully told, blending deep reporting, legal analysis, and raw personal narrative.
Mel doesn’t just rehash headlines—she goes digging. She’s spent over a decade uncovering new evidence in the Pamela Smart case, work that helped form the basis of a new habeas petition. In Season One, she revisits the trial that made Smart a national villain—and questions everything we thought we knew.
Season Two, From Victim to Accused: The Veronika Rodriguez Story, pulls back the curtain on a case where a 26-year-old Air National Guard member reported a sexual assault—and ended up the one in handcuffs. What happened next is more than a miscarriage of justice. It’s a warning.
This is the space between the crime and the courtroom, the headlines and the hidden truth. This is The In Between.
